A trucker who died after apparently falling asleep at the wheel and crashing into a sign has been identified.

Michael Allen, 55, was driving westbound on Interstate 10 near Ralph Fair Road just before 3 a.m. Feb. 19 when his truck veered off the road, hit a sign, rolled over and burst into flames, officials said.

A Bexar County deputy attempted to rescue Allen, but the flames were too hot. Allen died at the scene.
